Abstract: الصرع هو حالة مزمنة تتميز بنوبات متكررة دون سابق انذار، سببها خلل في نقل الاشارات الكهربائية داخل الدماغ، وعقار Levetiracetam (LEV) من العقاقير المضادة للصرع، ذو خصائص دوائية ملائمة وتظهر فعاليته في تحسين السيطرة على النوبات، ويكون امتصاصه في البلازما سري | Epilepsy is a condition characterized by recurrent abrupt seizures episodes caused by the defect in the transmission of electrical signals to the brain. LEV is one of antiepileptic drugs which has appropriate pharmacological properties and show its effectiveness in improving the control of the epileptic seizers, its rapid absorbance, and its excretion through the kidneys by glomerular filtration and it is re - absorption into the tubular portion.Kidney arise from intermediate mesoderm and it consists of three execratory organs in all vertebrates : pronephros which is transient and present in all vertebrates, mesonephros which also present in all vertebrates embryos and their activity depends upon the type of embryo, and metanephros which is the functional kidney during life after the embryogenesis in reptiles, birds and mammals. The first signals for kidney initiation in albino rat embryo take place in the 10th days of pregnancy. The current study is designed to demonstrate the effect of LEV (350 mg/kg/day) on the kidney development of Albino rat fetus from the age of 8 - 18 days of pregnancy and its effect on the kidneys of the 3 and 7 days aged newborns. In addition to its effect on pregnant rat kidneys treated with the drug for 17 days. Hundred pregnant Albino rat (Rattus rattus) are enrolled in this study, classified blindly to 50 control and 50 pregnant rats are orally treated with LEV (350 mg/kg/day). The histological results of the current study revealed that there is no effect on embryonic kidney in fetuses aged 9 days of pregnancy, whereas, the pronephros of the fetuses aged 10 days shows death of the cells in comparison to control group. Moreover, the kidney of the 11th aged fetuses showed degeneration of the mesonephric duct represented by decrease cellular mass, death and hypertrophy of some cells comparing to the cells of control group. Concerning the kidney of the 12th aged fetuses and subsequent days, there is degeneration of the epithelial cells of the metanephros duct, their detachment from the basement membrane and their congestion in comparison to the cells of the control group. The kidney of the 13th aged fetuses showed swelling, damage for some of the epithelial cells of the glomerulus and collecting tubules, accumulation and shrinkage of glomerular cells, damage, death, and detachment of some collecting tubules cells demonstrated in the 14th aged fetuses. There enlargement of capsular space in addition to the most previous defects was seen in the 15th aged fetuses in comparison to the control group. Most of the previous defects are seen in the 16th, 17th and 18th age fetuses. Scanning electron microscope revealed nuclear enlargement of the podocytes found in the visceral layer of the renal corpuscle of the 16th aged fetuses (mean diameter 64.6 µm compare to 39.2 µm of the control group). Regarding the kidney of 3rd and 7th aged newborns, the histological defects seen in the latest aged fetuses was also seen and there was statistically significant differences (p?0.05) between the diameters mean of the glomerulus of the 3rd and 7th aged newborn. Whereas, there was no significant difference in the diameter of the kidney tubules of 3rd but there was significant difference of the 7th aged newborn. Regarding the kidney of the 17th day treated pregnant rat, there was enlargement of the capsular space caused by accumulation, and degeneration of glomerular cells characterized by loss of the nucleus, shrinkage of the glomeruli, and atrophy of most of them. Loss of the nucleus and detachment of the cells, and swelling of most of the collecting tubules. There was a statistically significant difference between the diameter of the kidney tubules of the pregnant rat and the control group. In conclusion, LEV had histological effect on the kidney of the 10 - 18 aged fetuses and on 3, 7 days aged newborns in addition to its effect on the kidney of the pregnant female treated with the drug for 17 days.

The samples included of patients in Medical City Hospital and Al - kindy Hospital (15 urine, 60 blood, 50 root canal and 10 wound swabs) Antibiotics susceptibility test for 20 isolates was done against 11 antibiotics, it was revealed that the isolates showed multi drug resistance were (18) isolates. The vancomycin susceptibility was determined by the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). Resistant and intermediate resistant to vancomycin was distributed among isolates at a ratio of 65% and 20%, respectively. Imipenem was found to be the most bactericidal agent against E. faecalis isolates E. faecalis virulence factors were detected phenotypically, The results showed that all isolates (100%) were hemolysin, protease and aggregation substance producer. 30% of isolates showed an ability to produce gelatinase. While (40.7%) of the isolates were a lipase producer. The results of the tube method showed that all E. faecalis isolates (100%) were slime layer and biofilm producer but the amount of adherent layer were different among the isolates ranged from strong to moderate and weak.The extracted DNA was subjected to Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique in a monoplex pattern to amplify the virulence factor Enterococcal Surface Protein (esp) which is chromosomal, results of this investigation showed that 20 (100%) E. faecalis isolates gave the amplicon size 933 base pair for the esp gene.The genetic determinants of Vancomycin - Resistant vanA and vanB genes were amplified using monoplex and multiplex PCR techniques in order to identify vancomycin resistant (van+) and sensitive (lacking van) among (13) E. faecalis. The vanA, vanB genes were detected in 11 and 4 E. faecalis isolates, respectively. The results of monoplex and multiplex PCR revealed that the molecular weight of vanA and vanB genes were 550 and nearly 600 bp, respectively. The results revealed that the vanA and vanB amplicons have a genetic variation in their molecular weight during the electrophoresis of PCR product.

Abstract: ان اضطرابات طيف التوحد هي مجموعة من الظروف التي تتميز بضعف في التواصل الاجتماعي ونمطية في السلوك. يختلف الاشخاص المتوحدين اختلافا كبيرا في التطور المعرفي والتي يمكن ان تتراوح من فوق المتوسط الى العجز في التفكير. رغم ان اضطرابات طيف التوحد هي تورث بشكل كبي | The autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are a group of conditions characterized by impairments in reciprocal social interaction and communication, and the presence of restricted and repetitive behaviors. Individuals with an ASD vary greatly in cognitive development, which can range from above average to intellectual disability (ID). While ASDs are known to be highly heritable (~90%), the underlying genetic determinants are still largely unknown. The research studies correlate between Contactin - associated Protein - Like 2 (CNTNAP2), Interleukin - 1 Receptor Accessory Protein - Like1 (IL1RAPL1) genes and ASDs. This study includes forty autistic patients and forty non autistic children as control groups (twenty unaffected sibling and twenty unrelated children). The age of autistic and non autistic children was ranged from 3 to 10 years. Blood samples of autistic patients were collected from Rahman specialist centre for the care and service autistic children in Baghdad. DNA was extracted from blood samples for molecular detection of CNTNAP2 and IL1RAPL1 mutations associated with ASDs by the use Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique and sequence analysis. PCR reaction was performed to amplify exons (14, 17 and 20) of CNTNAP2 gene that encode to CASPR2, a member of the neurexin family which functions in the nervous system as cell adhesion molecules and receptors. The PCR results revealed that identical bands related to the CNTNAP2 exons were present in all samples. Therefore, five samples (four from autistic patients and one from control sibling) were selected for genotype analysis of CNTNAP2 exons (14, 17 and 20) by direct sequencing. Genotype analysis revealed that there were no any variants in CNTNAP2 exons, but it shows that four different mutations were identified in non coding region (introns) of the CNTNAP2 gene. These mutations were seen only in autistic patients but absent in control sample. Three of these mutations are single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs3779031 A/G in 2118282 position, rs3779032 A/C in 2118436 position and T/G in 2117905 position). The other mutations were deletion in one nucleotide (Del A/ - in 2117901 position). SNP rs3779032 A/C are located at intron 21 while other mutations are located at intron 19. The current study showed that two common SNPs (rs3779031 and rs3779032) in CNTNAP2 were strongly associated with ASDs, where the frequencies of these SNPs were relatively high. SNP rs3779031 identified in two autistic patients while rs3779032 identified in three autistic patients from four unrelated families with ASDs. PCR reaction also was performed to amplify exons (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9) of IL1RAPL1, a gene implicated in calcium - regulated vesicle release and dendrite differentiation. The PCR results show a large intrgenic deletion (Deletion of exons 3 and 4) in six autistic patients, two of these patients were twin. This deletion may be incomplete penetrance due to phenotypic heterogeneity of these patients. This study provides evidence of the role of genetic factors in the etiology of ASD and the important CNTNAP2 and IL1RAPL1 genes mutation of pathogencity ASDs.

Abstract: استهدفت الدراسة الحالية التي جرت في شوارع مدينة تكريت قياس تراكيز بعض الغازات المهمة التي تطرحها المركبات الى البيئة وهي احادي اوكسيد الكاربون, ثنائي اوكسيد الكاربون, ثنائي اوكسيد الكبريت (CO, CO2, SO2) وكذلك دراسة نوعية مياه الامطار المتساقطة على منطقة ا | The current study which takes place in the main streets of the city of Tikrit, aims at measuring the concentrations of some essential gases which are emitted by the vehicles of the environment. These gases include Monoxide Carbon, Dioxide Carbon and Sulfur Dioxide (CO, CO2, SO2). This study also aims at investigating the quality of rainwaters which are falling on the area of the study, and conducting some biological tests for them. Moreover, this study aims to identify the effect of vehicles productions upon blood physiology and the construction of some persons who are dealing with them. The samples have been collected during September 2010 till May 2011, and then classified in terms of age and duration of exposure. Alsuqoor Village represents the control group. A sample has been collected from healthy, non - smoker males. The concentrations of some polluted gases emitted from exhausted vehicles are identified. They are significantly high in comparison with the control group and during the whole chapters of the study. The highest level of pollution value is recorded by the gases (CO, CO2, SO2) and at (p< 0.05) level in Albasha Street during the Autumn, whereas the lowest value is recorded in Alzuhoor Street, during the Winter ( ). In addition, some of rainwater characteristics have been measured such as, (Ph, electrical m and the amount of plankton in water). The obtained results show that there is a significant decrease in PH concentration and a significant increase in EC concentration. Moreover, results indicate that the highest concentration of the clot material is in Alarbaeen Street ( ) whereas, the lowest concentration is in Alzuhoor Street ( ). The level of some rare elements has been measured in the blood serum of those who are exposed to (lead, cadmium) and in different periods of times. A significant increase is recorded in the levels of those elements, in comparison with the control group (ps 0.05). As for effect of blood components of those who are exposed to pollutants, the concentrations of both (Hb, Pcv) have been decreased with an increase in the concentrations of (the number of red and white cells and ESR) in comparison with the control group at level (P<0.05). It is also noticed that there is a significant increase in the number of the neutral and acidic white blood cells with a significant decrease in the number of the moral white blood cells at the lymph cell, in comparison with the control group. Results also show that there is a significant increase (P<0.05) in the level of each (Cholesterol, Triglycerides, and Lipoproteins with low density LDL) with decreased concentrations of (High Density Lipoproteins HDL) whereas, there are no significant difference in the concentrations of (Low density Lipoproteins Very high density VLDL). Concerning the concentrations of (Urea, Uric acid, Kreatenin) there is a significant increase (P<0.05) in comparison with the control group and for all the groups of the study. The pollutants have an effect upon the average number of enzyme in the blood serum. There is a significant increase in the average of the enzymes that carry amino (ALT, AST) an enzyme phosphate in comparison with the control group. The study has also shown a significant increase in the Monoaldehyde level MDA and decrease in the glutathione level, under the effect of various pollutants. It is noticed that the blood components as well as the biochemical variable are greatly affected as the period of exposure extended and these biochemical variables become very great. Therefore, most of the differences are existed in the third group whose ages range between (40 and 49) with 9 years of work, followed by the second group whose ages range between (30 and 39) with 7 years of work. Then comes the first group whose ages range between (20 and 29) with 5 years of work, in comparison with the control group

Abstract: يتوارد الى مصرف الدم ضمن دائرة صحة ديالى العديد من الاشخاص الذكور, يوميا للتخلص من زيادة الدم (كثرة الحمر) , وللتعرف على بعض جوانب هذه الحالات المرضية : تم جمع 90 عينة دم من هؤلاء المرضى (54 مدخن, 36 غير مدخن) قورنت مع 40 عينة دم لاشخاص اصحاء, تراوحت اعم | Many male persons come every day to the blood bank labeled within Diyala Health Directorate to get rid of blood ratio increase(polycythemia). To shed light on this phenomenon, 90 blood samples are collected from these patients (54 smokers, 36 nonsmokers) and they are compared with 40 blood samples of healthy persons within the age range of (18 - 79 years) in the period ranging from Decembar.1st. 2012 to March.1st. 2013. A Hematocrit (HCT) criterion of 52% is used in the study as a sickness criterion.The present study was conducted to : 1. Measure the red and white blood cells and platelet counts (complete blood picture).2. Measure antioxidant the concentration vitamins C, E in addition to vitamin D3 and Glutathione (GSH).3. Measure the levels of the Malondialdehyde (MDA). Results of the statistical analysis show a significant increase(p<0.001) in Red blood cells, Hematocrit, a significant increase in the White blood cells (p<0.05), a significant increase(p<0.001) in the (Neutrophils, Monocytes and Esophils) while the mean of Lymphocytes and Basophils counts show a significant decrease (p<0.001) compared to the control group. Blood platelet did not show significant variations between the control and sick patient groups. Upon splitting the patients group to smokers and nonsmokers, results of the statistical analysis reflect a significant increase of (p<0.05) in the Hemoglobin of nonsmokers with polycythemia compared to the control group and to smokers. The platelets count did not mirror any significant variations between the patients and control groups despite the increase in platelet numbers in persons with polycythemia group that are nonsmokers and a decrease in smokers patients. Results of the statistical analysis also show a significant increase of MDA levels in patients with polycythemia (p<0.001) compared to the control group especially in the nonsmokers which signals an increase in lipid peroxides and reactive oxygen species. Results of the statistical analysis show a significant decrease of (p<0.001) in the levels of vitamin C in the patients with polycythemia, the smokers as well as the nonsmokers polycythemia sub groups compared to the control group which refers to the notion that the vitamin E free radical attacks vitamin C to remake vitamin E. in this case vitamin C is consumed and vitamin E will be remodeled. There is a significant decrease (p<0.001) in the mean vitamin D3 in patients with polycythemia compared to the control group. Vitamin D3 has an impact on Red and White blood cells inside of the bone marrow, this matter sheds light on the probability of this impact of vitamin D3 on the pathogenesis of polycythemia. The results of statistical analysis did not show significant differences in the means of vitamin E and GSH levels. The present study revealed a positive relationship between vitamin D3 levels and Red Blood Cells counts, In addition there was a negative correlation of vitamin D3 with Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) in total polycythemia group and polycythemia smokers sub groups.

Abstract: Phytoremediation is defined as the use of green plants to remove pollutants from the environment or to render them harmless. Phytoremediation process can be classified based on the contaminant fate as; Phytoextraction, Phytotransformation, Phytostabilization, Phytodegradation, Rhizofiltration. In this work, the phytoextraction process was employed. A piece of land in the Botanical Garden at the University of Baghdad with an area of 25 m2 was prepared to plant the barley plant. Then, seeds of barley of type "Samir", which is an Iraqi kind that suitable for cultivation in Iraq, have been seeded. For U and Cs experiments, soil was mixed with a limited quantity of each U isotope for three different concentrations; 152 Bq/kg, 95 Bq/kg and 81 Bq/kg and for Cs106.5 Bq/kg, 79 Bq/kg and51 Bq/kg. For NPK and Urea experiments, different concentrations were tested to establish the requirements of these experiments. The LB4100 - W counting system includes the most complete data analysis software package was used to measure and calculate the alpha and beta concentrations and subsequently the overall activity concentration of any studied sample. Samples were prepared by following the Indian Standard method. For U, the experiment achieved by dividing it into four groups that differ in the spent time of agriculture in contaminated and clean (reference) soils. The results illustrated that the phytoextracted of U with planted period in contaminated soil, which were 31, 50, 63, 34 days, were 36.22, 54.84, 76.24, and 66.30 Bq/kgm, respectively. However, the 4th group differs comparing with other groups in the spent time of cleaned soil, which was 73 days. For Cs experiments, the work grouped similar to U experiment. The results of Cs phytoextraction showed that the absorbed Cs were 54.34, 100.69 and 109.07 for spent times in contaminated soil; 23, 43 and 57 respectively. Furthermore, barley plant has significant ability to phytoextract U and good ability to phytoextract Cs for all the three different concentrations. Besides, the results illustrated that the increase in the planted time in contaminated soils led to increase the quantity of phytoextracted isotopes. The results of adding K fertilizer showed a decrease in the ability of barley to absorb U, while the addition of urea enhanced the ability of barley. Finally, the following conclusion can be drawn from the present study that : barley is a good tool to phytoextract Cs rather than U and the use of urea fertilizer is suitable for enhanced the phytoextraction process.

Abstract: مصطلح الهايبودونشيا يعني نقص الاسنان الخلقي ويعد من اكثر التشوهات الفموية حدوثا لدى الانسان. مائة وخمسة وسبعون من مرضى نقص الاسنان الخلقي سجلوا في هذه الدراسة لديهم على الاقل سن واحد مفقود ولايزيد عدد الاسنان المفقودة عن ستة، قصدوعلاج الاسنان التقويمي في | Hypodontia means congenitally missing teeth, and considers as one of the most common oral alteration in human. One hundred and seventy five of hypodontia patients were matriculated in this study, having at least one missing tooth and no more than 6 missing teeth, seeking orthodontic treatment, who attended Al - Huwaizi Dental Center at AL - Harethia District - Baghdad, and control group consists of twenty five apparently healthy subjects (15 females, and 10 males). The age of both groups ranged from14 to 65 year. Buccal swabs were collected (for molecular study) from 25 of those patients who attended the clinic in a period between the beginnings of October 2013 to the end of April 2014, and from control group. Information were taken from the subjects under study according to a questionnaire that includes, name, gender, age, family and medical history, and the place of residence. Hypodontia was diagnosed according to the history of patients, clinical examination, orthopantomogram (OPG), and dental casts. The result of demographic study of hypodontia patients revealed that hypodontia was found in 129 of females which were more than that in males(46) with significant difference (p < 0.05). The ratio of females to males was 2.8 : 1. The missing teeth in hypodontia patients were found in right, left or both sides. The number of hypodontia patients, who had missing teeth in the right side were 37, in the left side were 48, while in both sides reached to 90 with non - significant differences and the results clarified that the missing teeth in anterior region found in 81 patients were higher than that in posterior region (63) while the least in both regions which recorded in 31 patient. It was found that hypodontia was more common in the maxilla (73) (upper jaw) than that in mandible (65) (lower jaw), whereas 37 suffering from missing teeth in both jaws, with non - significant differences. Present results showed that the maxillary lateral incisor (LI) was the most frequently missing tooth (124), the second most missing tooth was mandibular second premolar (PM2) (101) followed by lower central incisor (CI) (33), the maxillary second premolar(PM2) (27) whereas the lowest frequently missing teeth were canine (C), and the first premolar (PM1). The molecular part of present study used polymerease chain reaction (PCR) technique for amplification of DNA samples extracted from buccal swabs of twenty five hypodontia patients and control group.Four pairs of primers X1.1F, X1.3R; X1.4F, X1.4R; X2.1F, X2.3R, and X2.3F, X2.4R of the MSX1 gene, obtained from Bioneer Company (Korea), were used to amplify overlapping regions of the 2 exons of the MXS1 gene. The first pair of primers was used to amplify fragment with product size of 421 bp., while the second, third, and forth pairs of primers were used to amplify fragments with product size of 152 bp., 493 bp., and 264 bp., respectively. The outcome of MSX1 gene amplification showed that four patients with the first pair of primers and nineteen patient with the third pair of primers gave negative result (no bands) which differed from the result of the other patients and control. The disappearance of bands may be attributed to MSX1 microdeletion in those patients.The sequencing of MSX1 gene for the PCR product of second, third and fourth pairs of primer showed no genetic mutation, while the PCR product of the first pair of primers reveled nine missense and two silent mutations.It was concluded that hypodontia occurre frequently in Iraqi population and its occurrence in females was higher than that in males, and the gene MSX1 is responsible for many teeth missing in hypodontia patients.

Abstract: اجريت الدراسة الحالية في محافظة ديالى للفترة من بداية شهر ايلول لغاية نهاية شهر تشرين الثاني لعام 2014. تم جمع 40 كيسا عدريا من الاغنام والابقار (34 عينة من الاغنام و6 عينات من الابقار). تم اجراء التحليل الكمي لبعض العناصر والمركبات الكيميائية فضلا عن الا | The current study was carried out in Diyala province during the period from September to December 2014. Fourty hydatid cysts were collected from sheep and cows (thirty four cyst from sheep and six cysts from cows). Quantitative analysis was done for some elements and chemical composition of hydatid cyst fluids, laminated layer of cysts and the tissues surrounding cysts isolated from lungs and livers of cows and sheep, in addition to the adipose tissues of sheep. The results revealed that there was no significant difference (p>0.05) in Na, Ca, K, Mg and Fe elements in the fluids of hydatid cysts isolated from livers and lungs and adipose tissues of sheep and cows, while in sheep, Na showed (p>0.05) the highest concentration (4.83±0.19 mg/dl) in lung tissues comparison with the adipose tissues and livers (4.73±0.10 and 4.57±0.17 mg/dl respectively). The highest concentration of Fe (p?0.001) was in liver tissue (3.80±1.28 mg/dl). In addition, the highest concentration of K (p?0.001) was in walls layers of hydatid cysts isolated from liver (3.61±0.36 mg/dl) comparison with lung and adipose tissue (3.60±0.39 and 2.64±0.21 mg/dl, respectively). In cows, the highest concentration of Na (p?0.05) was recorded in lung tissue (3.85±0.84 mg/dl) comparison with liver, while the highest concentration of K (p?0.05) was in liver tissue (5.40±0.27 mg/dl) in comparison with lung tissue (4.76±0.20 mg/dl).

Abstract: تمثل الدراسة الحالية دراسة التركيب المظهري والنسجي وكيميائية النسيج للقناة الهضمية للحمام البري فاختة النخيل Streptopelia senegalensis, لثمان عينات من النماذج الحية البالغة من الحمام البري التي تم اصطيادها حية باطوال مختلفة, وبعد تخديرها بمادة الكلورفورم, | The present study represent the Anatomical, Histological and Histochemical structures of the alimentary canal in the laughing dove Streptopelia senegalensis, for eight adult specimens of these wild birds were trapped alive in different lengths, The specimens were anaesthetized by chloroform, and then carefully dissected for studying the gross anatomy, the alimentary canal from the proximal esophagus to the cloaca was carefully removed from the body cavity, lengths have been taken for alimentary canal and for each part of it, the alimentary canal divided into small pieces for each part, then fixated with Bouin's solution for general histological studies.Transverse sections of the different studied samples were cut at thickness of 5 - 7microns and the prepared sections were stained with routine stains Haematoxylin and Eosina and special stains for histochemical studies ( (Periodic acid - Schiff (PAS) technique, Alcian blue - PAS method and the Mercury bromophenol blue) ). The present Anatomical study showed the esophagus as long tubular organ, the cervical part of it is longer than the thoracic part and the crop was merely enlargement sac in shape which locate at the entrance of the thorax. The stomach is differentiated into a glandular proventriculus and a muscular ventriculus or gizzard.The small intestine distinguish into duodenum, jejunum and ileum which is the longest part of it, whereas the caeca are very small pair, and the rectum is short tube which end with cloaca, the last part of the alimentary tract. The histological study revealed that the alimentary tract composed of usual four layers; tunica mucosa, tunica sub mucosa, tunica muscular and tunica adventitia or serosa. The mucosal layer of esophagus was arranged in folds which was longer in the cervical part and constituted by nonkertenized stratified squamous epithelium, esophageal glands found just in submucosal tunica of the thoracic part. The crop has the same histological structure as in esophagus but it’s folds are less high than them in esophagus and there is no glands on it. The superior gastric glands of proventriculus were simple tubular glands and the deep gastric glands were compound alveoli glands which involve the submucosa tunica.A thick layer of koilen covers the mucosa of the ventriculus it’s lamina propria had loose connective tissue with simple alveolar glands. The villi of small intestine become shorter toward the rectum, which lining by simple columnar epithelium with striated border, and contain goblet cells which gradually increase in number frequently from the duodenum to the rectum. The histochemical studies revealed that PAS and alcian blue / PAS stains were given positive react in the esophageal glands, mucosa layer of esophagus, crop, stomach, and superior gastric glands and the goblet cells of small intestine and rectum. whereas the alcian blue / PAS were givin weak react in deep gastric glands in the provetriculus and gastric gland of gizzard but goblet cells were givin positive react in small intestine and rectum.Proteins were observed in the mucosa layer of esophagus, glandular stomach, intestine and rectum, when they had taken positive react with Mercuric bromophenol blue stain, but the reaction appeared weak in esophagea glands, intestinal glands and goblet cells.

The study began in September (2008) until August (2009), the primary infertility was (55%) and the secondary infertility was (45%). The study sample, which included random sample of 400 infertile women aged (15 - 45) years. Whom reviews in Educational Tikrit Hospital and many external women clinics in Tikrit city. The studied samples are compared with 50 healthy women as a controlling group. The age groups of infected women are specified as highest average within (21 - 25) years then from (26 - 30) years then from (31 - 35) years respectively. The study included a cellular classification by using sex chromatin as an indicater of fertile degree (sex chromatin as a guide to classify women by examing Neutrophil polynucleated cells). So wamen were distributed to : Supper female (have 2 sex chromatin), Normal female (have 1sex chromatin) , and Abnormal female (with out sex chromatin).The results showded 4% and 44.75% and 51.25% respectively. Respect to sex chromatin the results revealed high significant levels (P <0.01) and (P <0.05) of prolactin and (LH) in cons. for Abnormal and Normal infertile women. While the same results and levels happened in FSH and Proges. Conc. In Abnormal and Normal infertile women in comparison with the controlling group.this study showed no significant at level (P >0.05) for Estrogen E2 besides there is no significant in comparing infertile women of Supper female with the control group. Concerning biochemical factors and their relation with sex chromatin, it is shown that there is a difference at (P<0.01) (P<0.05) for normal and a bnormal group in comparison with the controlling group, at level LDL, VLDL and total protein between high and low but there is no difference at level HDL, Tri and Chol The study of reproductive hormones (FSH) and (LH) (PRL) and (E2) had been measured at 13 - 14 days of the menstrual cycle of infertile women. And progesterone hormone conc. had been measured at 21 days of the menstrual cycle. The results showded high significant conc. of PRL, LH and Proge. at level (P<0.01) in comparison with control group while their was not significant changes when the infertile women with the control group for FSH and estrogen conc. Respect to the biochemical factors have shown through fat parameter cholesterol, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein - cholesterol very low density lipoprotein - cholesterol and total protein have shown high levels (P<0.01) for infertile women in comparison with control group. While high density lipoprotein - cholesterol and glucose conc. Albumin, conc. and globulin show no significant changes in comparison with the control group. Besides this study has revealed a high levels (P<0.01) at PCV % for normal female in comparison with infertile female but through Hb there is no significant differences. It is also shown that the average of women with poor ovarian is 69.25 % while the block of fallopian tubes line was 18.75% for the endometrosis 4% and unknown infertile female causes were 8%. Then results also show the average of 36% of infertile female who are infected with hyperprolactinemea, results show that they are about 23% who suffer from Polycystic ovary syndrome PCOS. Also the Body Mass Index (BMI) showed high significant level (P<0.01) infertile women compared with the control and the same results happened with the age.

Abstract: تطرقت هذه الدراسة الى معرفة تاثير الدقائق النانوية للفضة (Ag NPs) في بعض الجوانب التركيبية والوظيفية للجهاز التناسلي الذكري للفئران. جرعت الحيوانات فمويا بالـ Ag NPs بجرعة 5 ملغم/مل وللمدد 5, 10, 15 يوما وفي اليوم التالي لانتهاء كل مدة معاملة تمت التضحية | This study touched to know the effect of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on some organs of the reproductive system and the testosterone hormone in male albino mice. animals were orally dosed with 200 mg/kg of Ag NPs for 5, 10, 15 days and the next day to the end of each period of treatment has animal sacrificed and autopsy after taking their weights before and after the treatment for the comparison between them and then took the testes and epididymis (head and tail) from them after measuring their weights. This study included the study of changes in the weight of animals and organs, sperm characters in both the testes and epididymis, the percentage of cells generating sperm, the number of Leydig cells and the diameters of these cell nuclei, changes in the seminiferous tubules in the testes and changes in epididymis tubule and histopathological changes as well as changes in testosterone level. The results of the animals weights before treatment showed a significant decrease (P<0.05) compared to the weights of the same animals after treatment, while the results of this study after comparing with the control group showed a significant decrease (P<0.05) in the weights of testes and tunica albuginea for the periods of 5, 10 and 15 days. The epididymis showed a significant decrease (P<0.05) in the average weights of the epididymis head for the three periods while the average weights of the epididymis tail showed a significant decrease (P<0.05) for the periods of 10 and 15 days. The vitality and the concentration of the sperms showed a significant decrease (P<0.05) in their percentages for the three periods. All the results above showed a significant decrease (P<0.05) when they compared between the three periods of the treatment. While the sperm abnormalities showed a significant increase (P<0.05) in their percentage in each of the testes and epidydimes for the periods 5, 10, 15 days with a significant increase (P<0.05) in these abnormalities when they compared between the three periods of the treatment. The histological results of this study after comparing to the control group revealed histopathological changes in the testes and the epididymis (head and tail). The percentage of spermatogenesis showed a significant decrease (P<0.05) in the number of spermatogonia, primary spermatocyte and sperms when compared to the control group with a significant decrease in the number of these cells when compared the three treatment periods with each other. While the number of secondary spermatocyte and spermatids was significantly increased (P<0.05) when compared with the control, with a significant increase in the number of these cells when comparing the three periods of treatment. Whereas the results of Leydig cells after comparing to the control group showed a significant decrease (P<0.05) in the number and the diameter of the cell nucleus. The results of this study also showed a significant decrease (P<0.05) in the thickness and the diameter of the seminiferous tubules of the testes and the thickness, The epithelium height of the epididymis (head and tail) when compared to the control group with significantly decrease in the thickness and diameter of the seminiferous tubules of the testes and the thickness and epithelium height of the epididymis (head and tail) when they compared between the three treatment periods. The results of this study when compared to the control group showed a significant decrease (P<0.05) in the level of the testosterone hormone with significantly increase (P<0.05) in the testosterone level when compared between the periods of 5, 10, 15 days. From these findings it is concluded that the AgNps crossed the blood - testis barrier and caused many changes to the testicular tissues and decreased the level of the testosterone. This may affect the fertility of mice.
